I bring out my phone from my pocket and open the chats between Xavier and I, it's not a lot of texts. I guess it's because we have most of our conversations face to face or in rare cases when we talk over the phone.
Who does that these days? Most people only talk through text and here we are not talking through texts. I think that makes our friendship more real.
I click on the text box. What should I text him? Hello? na too somehow, hi? Hmm no, Good morning? Hmm too formal
After minutes of deliberating, I send him a
*Good morning*
Which I immediately regret. Why did I send it? Take a deep breath Jessie, it's just a text.
After a minute, the tick turns double, and then it turns blue. So he has received and read the text.
The typing box appears but then it disappears, it appears again and then it disappears. I wait for another two minutes and he still doesn't reply
Why wouldn't he reply?
